Cruise Critic Editors’ Picks

Cruise Critic Editors chose Viking as the Best New River Ship in 2012. “The six new Viking Longships launched this year are identical, so all win for their sleek lines, stunning atrium, balcony cabins with full-sized verandahs, and hotel-style suites. The Aquavit Terrace, an indoor-outdoor casual eatery, is a dedicated alternative restaurant. And the ships are state-of-the-art when it comes to engineering, with hybrid engines, solar panels and even an organic herb garden.”
